I'm not sure I really get much value out of a socketed CPU, particularly in a laptop, vs something like a swappable MB+CPU combo where the CPU is not socketed.

RAM/Storage are great upgrades because 5 years from now you can pop in 4x the capacity at a bargain since it's the "old slow type". CPUs don't really get the same growth in a socket's lifespan.
Excellent explanation—thank you. Great example of a handshake too.
While there were many things I didn't like about the AIX "smit" sysadmin tool, the UI in the tty version was pretty smooth for the time period.

The most pro-office scenario I can imagine is this:

- There's a massive economic downturn resulting in job losses, power briefly shifts from the employees to the employers, and the incumbent office-heads indeed insists on RTO.

- But they would soon go out of business competing against new employers that are remote-only and have far lower overhead, killing RTO again.

EDIT

One other scenario that just came to mind is an extreme amount of new building and revitalization in cities. If they build enough units, and enough big, nice units, and spruce up the place a bit, living in a city will become cheaper and more practical.

If I can live in a huge nice condo with decent rent, no homeless people on the sidewalk, and close to the office, I wouldn't mind RTO so much.

As it is, city living only makes sense for those in their 20's or those who are truly dedicated to the city lifestyle.

> you mean non-governmental

I would say most people are concerned with dragnets, not targeted attacks. There's quite a lot you can hide from the government in terms of dragnets, in the same way you'd hide from big tech.

"Hide" isn't the right word. "Defend from" I think is probably better. Defending our constitutional rights from government and defending our privacy from big tech.

I'm actually perfectly okay with governments in targeted attacks (where a warrant is reasonably given). I'm just not okay with police being lazy.
I had a friend who actually moved when a 100+ acre solar farm was built just upstream, and maintained by heavy regular spraying of herbicides.

Solar is great, but IMO we should be somehow encouraging rooftop solar (which, yes, is more expensive!) in order to reduce pressure on wilderness and agriculture.

Before someone jumps in with the efficient market hypothesis, fundamentally the problem is that wilderness services aren't easily priced correctly, but solar has suddenly made chopping down wilderness (more) easily monetizable.

As far as I can recall, I've always considered "cold" to apply to the brewing, not the drinking. I learned the technique as "brew extra strong, then add hot water to taste", and that's how I've been doing it since I bought my first cold-brew maker.

Where I live we don't get a lot of hot weather, so drinking cold brew cold is strictly a high summer activity for me.

Apple recently claimed that RAM in their Macbooks is equivalent to 2x the RAM in any other machine, in defense of the 8GB starting point.

In my experience, I can confirm that this is just not true. The secret is heavy reliance on swap. It's still the case that 1GB = 1GB.
I've heard that 2001 was very much enjoyed by people who would come to the theater high. The visuals were a great trip for them, and helped make the movie a big success!

I don't see why we should trust them any less than our own government and its relationship with every domestic large social media platform.

I couldn't care less if China gets my TikTok browsing history or whatever, they can't touch me. I do care that my own government seems to be rapidly trying to censor and weaponize social media while telling me to stay scared of a nebulous foreign enemy they've been trotting out in the name of authoritarianism since the 1950s. All of our data is already being sent to the NSA and they probably already have root on every electronic device you use, and they still kill people over metadata. Meanwhile someone's Google search/maps history can land them behind bars in some states, just for reading the wrong books or searching for the wrong kinds of medicine, because it turns out inalienable rights are very much alienable.

So yeah. Tell me why I should be more concerned about what China might do, as opposed to what my own government is already doing?
It's also the same in developing or underdeveloped countries (I live in one). Almost everyone now wants to live in a city, so rents have become sky-high and more so in trendy cities. Even historically affordable suburbs near the cities have become expensive. You can rent a small two-bedroom flat in a city for the same price as a 5-bedroom mansion in a rural area.

> The specific data model was heavily relational and queries were very inefficient without foreign key support.

I can't help but wonder if you're conflating the notion foreign keys (and the usefulness of having them be indexed) and foreign key constraints, which ensure data integrity at the expense of write performance.

I have a narrow view of the performance of MySQL foreign key constraints and would be interested in learning of cases where they might actually improve certain queries.

> They are ALL comparing the M2 and M4. Why?

Well, the obvious answer is that those with older machines are more likely to upgrade than those with newer machines. The market for insta-upgraders is tiny.

edit: And perhaps an even more obvious answer: there are no iPads that contained the M3, so the comparison would be more useless. The M4 was just launched today exclusively in iPads.
> While we did use phone verification in the past, this is not the case any longer. Phone numbers were stored in the same way as the email addresses, so, again, we have no way to derive them back from the hash.

I've no reason to doubt this but brute-force cracking a hash known to be from a phone number would likely be pretty trivial.

Fwiw, I use protonmail and trust it more than most other services. But my threat model doesn't involve technically capable adversaries directly targeting me, certainly not ones that could compel protonmail to divulge phone number hashes.
I don't have well-defined reasoning for this, so maybe somebody else can expand on it: But it feels fundamentally wrong that detached, single-family (zoning restricted) homes are allowed to be purchased by investment firms & exclusively used as rentals.
Most of the cost of energy is the fossil fuels themselves, or taxation to discourage use. The cost of photovoltaic power seems to be governed by a scaling law, that has held for several decades now. [1] It is now cheaper than fossil fuels in sunny regions for electricity generation, without subsidy or other incentive. Even cautious estimates of further improvement, produce rather pleasing scenarios a few decades out.

There's lots of stuff in the article about the feasibility of turning the buildings into apartments. But I don't see anything convincing about it saving the downtown. It seems to me that a lot of people who do leave downtown areas are leaving for non-housing issues - lack of services (police), high taxes, bad schools, etc.
I don't own, because I think it's best for my children if they grow up in this city, and the city happens to be one where unless you hit the jackpot (literal or parental) or decide not to save for retirement, you aren't owning.

And yet... I wish we could. I know it's not a great investment monetarily, but there are the fringe benefits, like being able to make the place my own or knowing that I'm not going to have to relocate the kids in a couple of years with a few months' notice because the landlord decides he wants the unit back.
> I’m arguing for truth in advertising and labeling, so that counterfeit, fake, and adulterated products are eliminated from the market.

It's not a counterfeit, fake or adulterated product, though. It's balsamic vinegar, as almost everyone uses the term, and as the law, even in Italy, allows. If you want the extra special & expensive kind, you can look for 'Traditional balsamic vinegar' and the PDO logo that goes with it.

If people are selling regular balsamic vinegar as PDO 'Traditional balsamic vinegar', I'd agree with you. But I don't think that's happening on a significant scale.
So far, I haven’t seen any comparison between the iPad M4 and the computer M3. Everything was essentially compared to the last iPad chip, the M2.

Your laptop M3 chip is still probably more powerful than this. The laptop M4 will be faster, but not groundbreaking faster.
Are you saying they can't evict the office tenants in order to convert the building? I'm sure any transition from office -> condos will be long, messy, and expensive. Still better than dead, empty cities though.

What you want is someone who can break down a problem to the point where they can use the scientific method to come up with an algorithm on their own.

What you get is someone with canned responses in their head. And resultant mass layoffs. We're trying to automate picking just the right puppy instead of going out and playing with a few of them.
Suppose the rules changed so that some authority guarantees your right to sell your house at the price you bought it, but only at that price: when you find your next home, you get back the cost of your old one, which is then auctioned off to its next owner. Individuals are protected from falling house prices and no longer treat their homes as investments. The authority takes on that risk, now distributed across many homes, some of which appreciate. How do you think this would play out?
I know it’s small thing but it annoys me so much when the blog section of a site doesn’t have a link back to the home page.

Seriously, what do people think when designing headers like this? Like wow we should totally link to every other part of our site except the homepage.

Because who would want to go there after they found out about a project through a blog post?
For me personally, it’s not an issue of being out of touch. I did, in fact, use a 2014 Macbook with an i5 CPU and 16 GB of RAM for nearly a decade and know how often I hit swap and/or OOM on it even without attempting multicore shenanigans which its processor couldn’t have managed anyway.

It’s rather an issue of selling deliberately underpowered hardware for no good reason other than to sell actually up-to-date versions for a difference in price that has no relation to the actual availability or price of the components. The sheer disconnect from any kind of reality offends me as a person whose job and alleged primary competency is to recognize reality then bend it to one’s will.
A lot of people live in cities because they have no frame of reference of anything else, and (at least in the US) an active fear of being more than 5 minutes away from Starbucks. I am being somewhat facetious on their preference for bad coffee, but the amount of times I've been told that my living arrangements (dead end rural country road with very few neighbors) is to them scary. They can't deal with the lack of city noise, etc. Reminds me of the t-mobile ad with the couple camping in the woods then using their phones to pipe in the sound of Times Square to get to sleep. Sad really.
This 100%.

For the brief stint I had the Vision Pro, I was so confused Apple made sharing it so hard(and it really isn’t shared - it’s just there for the free taste because it is timelimit locked). But after a little thought it clicked:

Apple only loves the idea of the VisionPro if it means you never share.

Apple has always been a walled garden, so when the iPhone imposed it nobody blinked(there are/were tradeoffs, ok). But ever since the iPod, Apple has been all about the personal device. No more multiuser anything:

- iPod
- iWatch
- iPhone
- iPad

It becomes super obvious what the “i” really stands for when you realize it was for a single person.

and now spatial computing, this new era where actual business is supposed to happen

- VisionPro

Even though the “i” isn’t there, it really should be. The power of cohesion between these devices is one of wonder. But the cohesion could still exist with standards. What we have with Apple is bad for the customer and any innovation outside apples limited interests.

I wish Britain would have went for the head and after the innovation stifling instead of the stupid port forcing. Also an innovation stifler.

I'll put it in my reading list and get to it soon. But these are ideas that I have been looking at for a long time... and previous refutations of 'free will' as 'actually it's just these feed-back systems and we shouldn't think or worry about John Locke's locked door', have been unsatisfactory.

Also - having read the short story - 'Where Am I' relies heavily on the author's incredulity to make their arguments... which is unconvincing to me. Not being able to conceive of something is different than the reality of that thing. It's a story about confusing subjective experience with objective reality. The reality of the 'self' is different than your own point of view of what that self is. Your subjective experience is just that: subjective and not objective...

He also makes dubious claims in that story like 'the self can move faster than the speed of light'... That's going to need some evidence to claim something that fantastical...

It is a fantastic story, fun and fantastical, and asks interesting questions...

> People not considering how their decisions impact their wider world

This is absurd. You do not hold yourself to this same standard. Even this entire gentrification argument has an implicit bias that because these people were there first they deserve to be there more than others.

If I were to come in and state tautologically "actually gentrification is good". You would not have any real response because your argument is also based on a tautology "gentrification is bad".

Other people have to move out because they can't afford it is bad? Why isn't it an equally valid argument that it's bad that other people can't live there because people are already there?
Both Intel's and AMD's laptop CPUs include NPUs, and they are indeed slower than M4.

Nevertheless, Apple's bragging is a little weird, because both Intel and AMD have already announced that in a few months they will launch laptop CPUs with much faster NPUs than Apple M4 (e.g. 77 TOPS for AMD), so Apple will hold the first place for only a very short time.

Sodium batteries are on the verge of commercialization, they're better in almost every way but energy density, making them ideal for energy storage imo. My hope is that this and other steps like this will make battery storage sustainable.
Not, probably, that just how any "modern" OS works. It also uses RAM as a cache to avoid reads from storage, just like any other modern OS.

Apple uses it for segmentation and nothing else.

Addressed in the article! Apartment buildings need less elevators than offices since residents tolerate longer waits. There's still elevators, just less.
Dynamic tariffs (aka real-time or wholesale plans) are becoming more common in the UK an EU. These are usually priced by 30-min periods and announced 24h in advance. More modern utilities will offer apps that control when your car is charged (in exchange for cheaper rates). But I agree, optimizing this is fun too. I'm building support for configuring Tesla Powerwall systems based on dynamic tariffs.

If you have the option, the best time to charge your car would be during the day when there is abundant solar.
Definitely, MacOS busts kext extensions and other software without mercy leaving the devs to either keep up or to bite the bullet and abandon ship.

Agreed, it was a choice between a depression or inflation so we printed. It is also driven by industry consolidation leading to price gouging as there is no longer effective market competition.
This seems wrong... are people opening windows on the 60th floor? What about those buildings whose design precludes easy retrofitting to openable windows? I'm not being rhetorical, I'd like answers.

Office towers do not have windows that open, aside from some very old ones might have windows that open.

It works great on Wacom pens. Erasing is a pretty fundamental part of drawing and painting workflows.
Yes in that it doesn't appear to use a dependency graph to track recomputes; it recomputes everything on a cell change (according to another commenter anyways). But the UX effect is still the same in that the user never has to think about cell order, and every cell is always consistent with each other.
> Indeed, several people I spoke to mentioned that middle-graders’ lack of phones created a marketing problem in an era when no one at any publishing house has any idea how to make a book a bestseller other than to hope it blows up on TikTok. “BookTok is imperfect,” said Karen Jensen, a youth librarian and a blogger for School Library Journal, “but in teen publishing it’s generating huge bestsellers, bringing back things from the backlist. There’s not anything like that right now for the middle-grade age group.”

This part of the article is very off-putting to me. You don’t need TikTok to find good books for kids. Kids don’t need to see digital advertisements to make a decision. They need access to a library stocked with recently published books that kids will enjoy.

The author mentions later on that libraries are being defunded, and this is likely to be the root cause. Rather than spending so many words on speculation it would’ve been nice to see some hard numbers on the subject.

Maybe the $100 nano-texture screen will give you the visibility you want. Not the low power of a epaper screen though.
